If you've noticed that you haven't been able to pull off any assassinations in the Halo Infinite tech test, there's a reason for that – they've been removed.
Halo Infinite developer, 343 Industries, confirmed assassinations will not be available in the sci-fi shooter during a livestream back at the end of July. However, the recent test flight has seen interest in the notably absent franchise tradition resurface online.
Assassinations – animations that are triggered when you creep up on an enemy player and melee them from behind – have long been a Halo staple. But despite the team at 343i "really lov[ing] assassinations", they've been removed because of the "gameplay disadvantage" to pulling one off.
